It's no question that the Chromebook makes a wonderful candidate to
integrate features of 9 into. The thing was practically BUILT for
distributed computing, what with app servers and cloud integration tightly
integrated into the hardware. What I was thinking was creating a chrome
extension for 9P and the distributed file system, so that there'd be an
easy way to connect 9 machines and maybe even create a chrome 9 grid for
super processing. What would be your opinion on doing such a thing?
Practical? Waste of time? Wanna help?

I think that Plan9Port using the underlying Linux OS might be a better
choice.  I have also been thinking about cross-compiling from a Plan9
install (such as that on Raspberry Pi) to Samsung ARM based ChromeBook.

Getting Plan9 to work with fastboot and implementing device drivers for the
various ChromeBooks might be a lot of work.  Don't know enough to justify
my assumptions though.

I choose - "Waste of time"

Too many hardware versions (

)
And, how about vendor-locks (Google :) )?
